The 21st Century Gurukulam ( 21CG) is a new educational program designed to provide enhanced opportunities for gifted rural youth of Andhra Pradesh. A 21CG is envisioned as a self-sustaining, self-governing, and self-supporting community, modeled after the ancient Gurukulam and the modern-day Kibbutz. Its primary purpose is to provide remedial education and IT training leading to a postgraduate degree in IT for the current top 1% of the rural youth.

The gifted rural graduates defined as the top 1% based on merit and another 1% based on social criteria are expected to be selected from each mandal. The entrance test is state wide but the selection is based among the best in each mandal. The rural mandal residency will be determined based on the location of the high school graduation of the candidate.

It is our hypothesis that, intelligence is not concentrated in the cities but is, in all probability, uniformly distributed throughout the entire population. If this hypothesis is correct, even partially, then we are leaving behind 80% of the gifted youth just because they happen to be born in rural environments to semi-literate parents. Given this serious and genuinely unfair disparity, the State of Andhra Pradesh is considering various alternatives to enable the gifted rural youth to achieve their full potential. 21CG is the first initiative.
